SCHEDULE "B" TO BY-LAW 2017-138 Description of Property - Glen Abbey Golf Course The Property consists of approximately 229 acres and is physically comprised of tablelands and valley lands alongside the Sixteen Mile Creek. In the past, this property has been occupied by Indigenous peoples, has contained a farm and sawmill, the private RayDor estate, a Jesuit religious retreat and a country club. In the 1970s, this property was transformed by professional golfer and golf course designer, Jack Nicklaus, into a designed cultural heritage landscape known as the Glen Abbey Golf Course. All of these references to earlier layers exist within the present form as set out by Jack Nicklaus. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest Design Value or Physical Value Glen Abbey is one of Canada's most famous golf courses. It was the first course in the world to significantly enhance the spectator experience by combining stadium design with a hub-and-spoke layout. The success of the design influenced later golf course design both in Canada and internationally. The golf course is notable for its high degree of craftsmanship and artistic merit. The sequence of valley holes are considered among the most beautiful and challenging in the sport. The 17th and 18th holes have been recognized as among the most successful finishing holes in international championship play. The spectator mounds not only provide for intimate and unobstructed viewing, but also frame the fairways and greens. The design of the clubhouse reinforces the spectator experience and successfully integrates architecture and landscape. The golf course is a very good representative of the emphasis on finesse rather than pure strength, in the 'strategic' tradition of golf design. This success stemmed from the designer's intimate knowledge of Augusta National and other outstanding courses around the world, in his role as the world's best championship golfer of all time. The course also reflects his strong commitment to combining the functional and the aesthetic. continued...
